Yes, we're actually warm now from our
luxury cruise. :D
The Doctor and I have been talking while warming ourselves. You know, actual talking.
"Happily ever after" is a cliche. "Marriage isn't happily ever after" is also a cliche. It is work though, and figuring things out as you go, and actually talking to each other.
I realized I'd been bad about not just telling the Doctor how I was feeling a few days ago, and instead it made me mad at him since I thought he didn't care enough to let me know where he was. And then guilty that I thought he had to tell me where he was since the Doctor and domestic are like oil and water. And then I started to convince myself that what we had was over.
It's a bit mad, but... The Doctor's always said he's no good at being in a relationship, but I've been realizing that I'm not that great either. Mickey and I never lived together, so we never had to deal with all this stuff, and the less said about Jimmy the better.
So the best thing for it is to be patient with each other and actually talk to each other about stuff instead of letting it build up. However, we're allowed to be mad if after talking, the other person's being a git. :D
Not happily ever after, but not not happily ever after either. Although pretty close, I'd say, even with the down times. :)
